The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A gentle, dreamlike adventure where you explore hazy summer scenes at your own pace, guided by soft puzzles and a quiet story.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, free game from developer Lu that deals with loss and grief. The story is more followable than other Lu games but still leans into abstract weirdness. Controls are widely criticized as terrible and keyboard-only with half-broken mouse support.
